Match Day Thread Stoke City v Leeds Utd

So far his track record isn’t any worse than Bielsa’s, actually you could argue that it’s slightly better as he got to the playoff final last season. If we go up this year as champions he’s matched him but I’ll happily settle for second and automatic promotion.

 

He never had a chance with us in the premier and was sacked after his first win. With money I think he will avoid relegation, probably about a 15ish place finish

 

Bielsa would romp this league and be out of sight with these players we have, that's the difference between a coach and a spender he makes players better. Farke doesn't in my opinion.

 

Solid enough win against a very poor side. Amps did well but I still think Tanaka is more progressive and would have opened that lot up no end.

 

Or he’d have 10 of them in sick bay burned out. He had that knack you know

 

Different coaching styles. South American flair and passion vs German efficiency.

I think it would be pretty unanimous among fans if it was a straight choice between Bielsaball vs Farkeball as far as entertainment goes.

Its a results business and if Farke gets us up then great.

 

That was deffo a Pen last night studs up very lucky boy can't believe the ref missed it

 

Only if they are a bunch of snowflakes.



oh.

 

Lacking a bit of detail in that photo

 

Bamford has never been the same... Oh hang on a minute.

 

Answer is very simple, Aaronson bench, Rothwell to play No10 he runs at teams and his passing is good, Tanaka and Ampadu to play in front of our back four.

 

If Farke had managed us instead of Bielsa he’d never had got us promoted with the players Bielsa inherited. Farke looks better than he is because of our parachute money

 

Although he got Norwich up on a shoestring the first time.

He's not a bad coach. He's proven at this level wether he has money or not.

 

I agree he’s not bad, I do feel he was slightly fortunate with Norwich

 

Got lucky twice?

 

Maybe, i'd be happy to see that tried. People get annoyed with Aaronson... so do i at times... but he covers some ground. His pressing is fundamental to us winning the ball back regularly and his movement stretches teams and creates space for others. Not sure Rothwell has the legs for that, like hime but he seems to drift in and out of games. Maybe he does have what it takes at 10... I'd be happy to see it tried.

 

He was lucky Teemu Pukki kept scoring 98th minute winners.

 

Jeez, we’re top and you’re still not happy

 

BA is very underated as you have stated.
Can't see rothwell as a 10, does not have quick enough feet, he does a great job where he is.
No square pegs for me.

 

I’m happy, but promotion should be given with the squad Farke has.
